I went to Office Max to buy whole new print head for my ancient
BJC2100, perhaps its last.. I keep it on board for a backup to my
HP6122. The 2100 normally takes a BC21e head costing $50.oo, but there
was also on the shelf a BC22e which cost only 24.oo. So I bought the
22e. When I got home sure enough, it works in the 2100.

But I now find that only photo printing paradigms, which are very slow
at printing, are available; not good for letters and reports. The 2100
software recognizes it as a 22e, and locks out the draft and simple text
writing modes.

Is there any way to fool the 2100 into thinking it's a 21e?

That printer has two different print heads. One for routine color printing
and the other is a dedicated photo print head for use with photo cartridges.
Unfortunately these aren't interchangeable.
